Caliper swapping

Has anyone tryed to put a front brake caliper on a rear axle yet (old style steel)? I know chev produced many different shapes and sizes of calipers over the years. I want to get rid of the park brake stuff and run a simple caliper but need to know if a front one will fit on the rear mount first. They "look" the same but looks are deceiving.

383 stroker (carbed) with double hump cast iron heads and pump gas
454 Big Block almost ready for the 2001 racing season

Best results before the 383 blew up
Best ET on a time slip: 11.857 altitude corrected to 11.163
Best MPH on a time slip: 117.87 altitude corrected to 126.10
Altitude corrected rear wheel HP based on power to weight ratio: 476.5
Best 60 foot: 1.662

Racing at 3500 feet elevation but most race days it's over 5000 feet density altitude!
